I've felt like this at times while playing GW2, and eventually I finally realized that the reason we don't know what to do in the game is because there is so many different things to do, that it makes choosing one activity or map over the others hard. Especially because like the OP said, crap loot no matter where you go. But it's like that for a reason obviously, so you're not stuck with one activity that's superior to all the rest... otherwise that's the only place most people would be playing and everything else in the game would be useless. And if the loot was a lot better, you'd reach your goals faster, and then really open the void quicker. I do think some things take TOO long to achieve with grinding the same stuff (Eureka was mind numbing with elder wood and mithril farming. 1st generation legs were a much better experience). Sometimes that void comes from losing interest in gaming, not the game you're playing. That means it's time to think about things in real life you've been putting off or maybe haven't had the chance to do, and set goals to make them happen. We often look to games to fill the voids we have in our lives, but sometimes extensive gaming is what creates them.
